Sweet!!!!

A very old Proto LA combo set circa late 40’s - early 50’s. 1/4 - 1-1/8 wrenches. Not a collectible, but a full user set.

Back in the day, Proto Tool Co. also had the ladies in mind when they created the “Diligent Duchess “ tool set. Not very PC in today’s world.

Those are very hard to find but you seem to specialize on finding the hard to find. Well done and cool set.

Thanks Steve. I found that set on eBay for cheap and couldn’t resist. Lots of sparkles, but not very practical. This particular set will remain a collector and not a user.

I have one of the screwdrivers and to me it was a score. I think you need to name your garage Wonderland.

And you need to be named the Ratchet King.

I don't know about that there are some awesome collections out there.

Cruiser, are the scissors branded Proto ?

[Cruiser808]

Hi Snaparxon - no, the scissors are not marked Proto. It is a Wiss Trimline. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe Proto ever made household scissors. At least I’ve never seen them in the catalogs.

I guess this constitutes a set.



These were my dad's which he gave me because he hardly uses tools anymore.
According to him he bought them together but I don't really know.

Very nice sets.

I have a soft spot for these.

I like them too. One set is in my car toolbox, the other has been in my fishing boat tool container.
